Each year 3000 children and youth join our camp for a week-long life changing experience that challenges and encourages them to develop:

Soldier Spirit – Brave and Courageous

Servant Heart – Seeing the world through the eyes of others through working together as a cabin and building teams

Positive Attitude – Gaining confidence and competency in a camp activity like biking, archery, high-ropes, swimming, canoeing and more

Moral Compass – Offering tools for living as a responsible citizen by discovering the life and teaching of Jesus.

Your support helps us operate camp and along with our staff to become the biggest cheerleaders in the lives of children we will influence every week this summer. Consider supporting this opportunity to send a child to camp. Here is how you can help:

Pray for Us

Prayer must be in and through all that we do. Pray for campers, pray for staff, pray urgently and pray specifically. Perhaps there are individuals at your own corps who will be at camp. They need your prayers.
